The real push for the Marvel’s Avengers begins next month when ‘Thor’ hits the big screen in the US. Now, just to get us all the more excited, Joss Whedon dropped a tasty Easter Egg for all his fans yesterday. The sad part is that he promises no leaks from the set… ya, like that’s going to happen.
So, I guess the camera is rolling and we’ll see what happens next… Maybe we’ll see something at Comic-Con. All I know is that I’ve still got trust in Joss and as long as they aren’t carrying loki through to the Avengers, I think we might just have a great movie on our hands.
Here’s the official note from Joss:
Hi Pumpkins, joss here.
Tomorrow we start shooting (I THINK I’m legally permitted to say that). Day one. That’s right. We’ll be shooting the pivotal death/betrayal/product placement/setting up the sequel/coming out scene, at the following address:
[Marvel Lawyers rush in, take Joss’s keyboard, blowtorch a picture of his family like in “Stormy Monday”, drink his milkshake, leave the seat up, fluff his pillows, violently unfluff his pillows, leave]
Went too far. My bad. Anyhoo, it should be a fun day, followed by the eighty thousand other fun days it will take to finish this. I’ll be checking in from time to time, if there’s news or I crave attention (i.e. am awake) . None of it will be Avengers news — I have some very denty pillows to remind of that — but I may have tidbits. (They’re not about Firefly. I should say that up front, if only to protect Sis Mo from the HATORZ.)
Some of you may be saying, Joss! Why this link, here, now, why, huh, howcum? My friend Allyx turned me on to these guys, and I’ll tell you, they’ve gotten me through this intensely pressurized, preply time. I strongly recommend checking out their other vids — I’ve watched them many many times, and I have a very special place for “Teamwork” in my heart. These guys are the guys. And IS there a better movie title than “Eagles Are Turning People Into Horses”? I thought not.
So wish me luck. DO IT! LUCK! NOW! I’m off to finish some Buffy pages, and then figure out what the movie is about already. I’m pretty sure it’s about the Justice League [Marvel Lawyers re-enter, unspeakability occurs] or possibly something else. I’ll get it. I’ve been looking forward to this. For about 46 years.
Catchphrase!

This has jumped onto the list of most anticipated films!
Will a TMNT film that only focuses on one turtle work on the big screen?
This is the dream of any kid who grew up in the 80s and 90s.
He's not alone anymore. Joker: Folie à Deux – only in theaters and @IMAX, October…
